Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pipe pile maintenance technology, and specifically relates to an intelligent temperature control system for pipe pile steam maintenance and a supporting maintenance method. Background Technology
[0002] Pipe piles are hollow, columnar precast components with a circular cross-section, mainly made of concrete (such as prestressed high-strength concrete or ordinary concrete) or steel. They are driven into the ground through methods such as driving or static pressure, serving as the core load-bearing components of a building's foundation. Their core function is to transfer and bear the vertical loads (such as the building's self-weight and the pressure from the superstructure) and horizontal loads (such as seismic forces and wind forces) of the building, transferring the loads to more stable soil or rock layers underground. At the same time, they can enhance the foundation's resistance to deformation (such as reducing settlement and resisting earthquake liquefaction).
[0003] However, traditional steam curing of pipe piles often adopts the conventional mode of "fixed heating-constant temperature-cooling", which has the following problems: low temperature control accuracy. Traditional curing relies on manual adjustment of steam valves. The temperature difference between different areas in the curing kiln, such as the upper and lower layers, and the kiln head and kiln tail, can reach 5-8℃, resulting in excessive temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe pile, which can easily cause cracks and affect the structural strength; serious energy waste. The steam supply adopts the "full load continuous output" mode and is not dynamically adjusted according to the hydration reaction process of the pipe pile. The steam loss rate is high, and the waste heat is not recovered during the cooling stage, which increases the additional energy consumption.
[0004] Therefore, an intelligent temperature control system for steam curing of pipe piles and a supporting curing method are proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

The kiln body is divided into 3-5 independent curing areas, each of which can accommodate 2-4 layers of pipe piles. Each independent curing area is equipped with an independent steam distribution pipe and return air inlet. The diameter of the steam distribution pipe is 50-80mm, and multiple Φ3-5mm steam outlet holes are opened on the pipe wall. The steam supply and control module is also equipped with a pressure safety valve on the main steam pipeline, which automatically releases pressure when the pressure of the main pipeline exceeds 0.8MPa.

[0028] Preferably, the monitoring sensing module includes a temperature monitoring unit, a humidity monitoring unit, and a displacement monitoring unit;
[0029] The temperature monitoring unit is equipped with ≥5 PT100 platinum resistance temperature sensors in each independent maintenance area. These sensors are installed on the surface of the pipe pile at 1 / 3 of its length at both ends, at the center of the pipe pile pre-embedded during pouring, and in the air inside the kiln at a height of 1.5m above the kiln floor.
[0030] The humidity monitoring unit is a humidity sensor installed inside the kiln to monitor the humidity of the curing environment in real time.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a maintenance method for a smart temperature control system for steam curing of pipe piles specifically includes the following steps:
[0043] S1, 1-2h pre-curing stage: Send the cast-in-place pipe pile into the curing kiln and close the kiln door. Start the intelligent control module to set the kiln temperature to 30-40℃ and humidity to ≥80%. Introduce steam at 30-40℃ and monitor the surface and center temperature of the pipe pile to ensure that the temperature difference is ≤3℃ and prevent premature water loss from the surface of the pipe pile.
[0044] S2, 3-4h heating stage: Pipe piles with Φ600mm or larger are gradually heated to 80-90℃ at a rate of 5-6℃ / h, and pipe piles with Φ600mm or smaller are heated to a rate of 7-8℃ / h. During heating, the intelligent control module maintains the temperature difference in the kiln ≤2℃ through the zoned electric regulating valve. If the displacement sensor detects that the shrinkage deformation of the pipe pile is >2mm, the heating rate is automatically reduced by 0.5-1℃ / h.
[0045] S3, 6-8h constant temperature stage: After the kiln temperature reaches the set value, the intelligent control module dynamically adjusts the steam volume according to the center temperature of the pipe pile to maintain the center temperature at 80-85℃, while keeping the kiln humidity ≥90% and the steam pressure 0.4-0.6MPa. The strength of the pipe pile is estimated through the strength monitoring model. This stage ends when the strength reaches 70%-80% of the design strength.
[0046] S4, 4-5h cooling stage: Start the waste heat recovery module, open the kiln return air vent and waste heat exchanger, and reduce the kiln temperature to 20-25℃ at a rate of 3-5℃ / h; during the cooling process, the intelligent control module adjusts the speed of the waste heat recovery fan according to the kiln temperature to recover waste heat to heat the cold water in the water storage tank. After the kiln temperature drops to 20-25℃, shut down all equipment and remove the pipe piles to complete the curing.
[0047] During the pre-curing stage, the cast-in-place pipe piles are placed into the independent area of the curing kiln. After the kiln door is closed, the intelligent control module is activated, setting the kiln temperature to 30-40℃ and the humidity to ≥80%. The steam supply and control module introduces steam at 30-40℃ into the kiln, and the monitoring sensor module collects the surface temperature T of the pipe piles in real time. 表 With center temperature T 内 To ensure that the temperature difference meets the requirements .
[0048] Specifically, the process of placing the pipe piles into the kiln and setting the parameters is as follows: Pipe piles with a surface flatness of ≤5mm after casting (such as prestressed concrete pipe piles) are placed into an independent area of the curing kiln, with a spacing of ≥100mm between piles to ensure steam circulation. After closing the kiln door, the intelligent control module is activated, and pre-curing parameters are set: kiln temperature... =30-40℃, relative humidity RH≥80%, continuous for 2 hours when ambient temperature ≤15℃, continuous for 1 hour when ambient temperature ≥25℃;
[0049] Steam supply and temperature difference control: The steam supply and control module introduces steam at 30-40℃ into the kiln, and the PT100 platinum resistance temperature sensor of the monitoring and sensing module collects the surface temperature of the pipe pile in real time. Temperature at the center of the pipe pile ,by Calculate the temperature difference between the surface and center of the pipe pile:
[0050] 1. If ≤3℃, maintain the current steam supply;
[0051] 2. If >3℃, according to the formula Adjust the steam supply, among which The adjustment coefficient ranges from 0.6 to 0.9. Rated steam supply for the maintenance area;
[0052] Steam distribution uniformity control: During the pre-curing stage, it is necessary to ensure uniform steam distribution within the area. This is controlled by the flow deviation rate of each steam outlet, using the following formula: %,in Let i be the real-time flow rate of the i-th steam outlet. The average flow rate across all steam outlets is calculated by monitoring the electromagnetic flowmeter. >5%, the intelligent control module fine-tunes the opening of the electric regulating valve to make the steam distribution more uniform.
[0053] During the heating stage, the heating rate needs to be controlled to avoid excessive temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe pile, which could lead to cracks, while maintaining a stable temperature difference in different areas of the kiln.
[0054] Specifically, the heating rate is controlled in stages: the intelligent control module sets the initial heating rate based on the diameter of the pipe pile, satisfying the formula: ;
[0055] Kiln zone temperature difference control: During the heating process, the intelligent control module maintains the temperature difference between different zones within the kiln through the electric regulating valves of the zone temperature control unit. ,in This is the highest temperature in the region. For the lowest temperature in the region, the adjustment amount of the electric regulating valve opening satisfies the formula: , This is an adjustment coefficient, with a value ranging from 0.8 to 1.2. For the real-time temperature of the area, Set the temperature for the area, adjusting it by 5-10% each time to avoid temperature fluctuations.
[0056] Pipe pile deformation feedback adjustment: The LVDT displacement sensor of the displacement monitoring unit monitors the shrinkage deformation of the pipe pile in real time. ,like If the deformation is greater than 2mm, adjust the heating rate according to the amount of deformation:
[0057] 1. When At that time, the heating rate decreased to 0.5. ;
[0058] 2. When When the heating rate decreases by 1 ;
[0059] 3. When Once the temperature reaches ≤2mm, resume the initial heating rate until the kiln temperature reaches the target value.
[0060] During the constant temperature stage, precise control of the center temperature, humidity, and steam pressure is required to ensure that the hydration reaction is complete and uniform.
[0061] Specifically, the center temperature is dynamically adjusted: the intelligent control module adjusts the center temperature of the pipe pile based on the data collected by the monitoring sensor module. Dynamically adjust steam volume:
[0062] 1. If If the temperature is below 80℃, increase the steam supply, and adjust the amount of steam required each time. , For the current steam supply, until Rise to 80-85℃;
[0063] 2. If the temperature exceeds 85℃, reduce the steam supply, and adjust the range as needed each time. Alternatively, open the small exhaust valve at the top of the kiln and maintain the exhaust volume at [a certain level]. The kiln body area should be adjusted to avoid excessively high temperatures that could cause the hydrated products to become loose.
[0064] Temperature, humidity, and pressure stability control: During constant temperature operation, maintain the relative humidity (RH) inside the kiln ≥ 90%, and the steam pressure 0.4-0.6 MPa. A humidity sensor monitors RH in real time. If RH < 90%, the intelligent control module increases the steam supply. A pressure sensor monitors the steam pressure, and the pressure regulating valve operates according to the formula... Maintain pressure fluctuation range to ensure temperature control accuracy.
[0065] Pipe pile strength estimation and stage completion determination: The pipe pile strength σ is estimated in real time using the temperature-strength correlation formula, the formula is as follows: , For the design strength of the pipe pile, The constant temperature time (h) is used for pipe pile calibration. , , , The value when At this point, the constant temperature phase ends.
[0066] During the cooling phase, the cooling rate needs to be controlled while recovering residual heat to achieve energy conservation and protect the quality of the pipe piles.
[0067] Specifically, cooling rate and fan speed control: Activate the waste heat recovery module, press 3-5... The rate gradually lowers the kiln temperature to room temperature, i.e., 20-25°C. The intelligent control module adjusts the temperature based on the real-time temperature inside the kiln. Adjust the speed n of the waste heat recovery fan to satisfy the formula: ,in This is a proportionality coefficient, with a value ranging from 300 to 500. ; The actual cooling rate ( ), take 500 in the initial stage of cooling 300 later ;
[0068] Waste heat recovery and heat exchange calculation: During the cooling process, 80-90% of the heat discharged from the kiln... High-temperature wet steam enters the waste heat exchanger and reacts with the 20-25°C water in the storage tank. The cold water undergoes heat exchange, and the heat exchange rate satisfies the formula: , Let m be the specific heat capacity of water, and m be the amount of water participating in heat exchange, taken as 80% of the water volume in the storage tank. The change in water temperature Controlled between 50-60 ;
[0069] Curing completion and pipe pile removal: After the kiln temperature drops to room temperature, shut down all system equipment (steam generator, circulating water pump, sensors, etc.), let it stand for 30 minutes to allow the pipe pile temperature to balance with the room temperature to avoid stress concentration caused by sudden temperature changes, and then open the kiln door to remove the pipe pile, thus completing the curing process.
